Ingredients
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, thighs, or legs*
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tablespoon purchased or Homemade Taco Seasoning**
Instructions
- Place chicken in a large bowl, zip-top plastic bag (or a freezer-safe container, if you plan to freeze the chicken).
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, lime juice, and taco seasoning.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover bowl or close bag. Gently toss or massage to coat the chicken pieces evenly.
- Marinate the covered chicken in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours and a maximum of 2-3 days before cooking. Or, to freeze, remove as much air from the freezer-safe container as possible, and freeze the chicken in the marinade for up to 2 months.
Notes
* If using chicken legs, increase to 1 1/2 lbs.
